net: sctp: check proc_dointvec result in proc_sctp_do_auth
When writing to the sysctl field net.sctp.auth_enable, it can well be that the user buffer we handed over to proc_dointvec() via proc_sctp_do_auth() handler contains something other than integers. In that case, we would set an uninitialized 4-byte value from the stack to net->sctp.auth_enable that can be leaked back when reading the sysctl variable, and it can unintentionally turn auth_enable on/off based on the stack content since auth_enable is interpreted as a boolean. Fix it up by making sure proc_dointvec() returned sucessfully.
